I met some cool surfers/foilers here in Shizuoka.  Shinjo-san is a professional windsurfer that now foils.  He’s really strong and has good flow.  Super happy to foil with him.

Harada-san is a local here that is super friendly.  Always smiling and sharing waves.  He surfs any board he rides really good with lots of style.  

Makoto-san can foil and smile at the same time.  That’s how you enjoy life.  

Thank you Deco-san for sending me this photo.  It seems very long ago but it’s a recent day we surfed this secret spot in Sumatra.  Nobody out at this spot so it was only the 9 of us having a good time.

Toda-san riding one all the way to the beach.  It’s sessions like this that make a surf trip memorable.  It’s not only about the waves, it’s about the experience.  We were like 9 kids having fun at an Indonesian Disneyland.

It’s so cool to see our niece Kelia Moniz on big billboards like this in other countries.  In Hawaii, Kelia’s just a simple local surfer girl.  But in the world, she’s the face of Roxy and is pretty famous.   Her Uncles are very proud of her!

We’re staying at this hotel right in front of Mt. Fuji.  This is the view from my room.  Absolutely gorgeous!

I wasn’t expecting to surf at all in Japan so were so lucky to come across waves like this.  Chest high and perfect conditions.  

Takami-san and Toda-san leading the way for us.  Through their local friends and local knowledge, they are putting us on the best surf spots.  

Makoto-san is a local and is one of the best foilers around.  He was pumping around for minutes at a time.  

Sushi for 770 yen or $5.  Unbelievable!  

I can eat this everyday!

My brother Mason wanted to ride a bicycle around Fuji so he borrowed one from Toda-san.  

He rode away so excited and happy.  By the time he got back to the hotel 20 minutes later, he was dripping of sweat.  Today was 36 degrees Celsius or 97 degrees Fahrenheit.  You have to be crazy to ride a bike in this weather.  A good experience and a lesson learned.  Haha.

She’s so beautiful!!!!
